Where were you when I anchored the earth around the sun
Do you remember when the first day began?
Have you ever summoned the dawn of day,
Or walked on the bottom of the ocean far away?
Where were you when my chambers were loaded with snow
Have you seen me cutting out the river’s flow?
Have you gazed upon the gates of death?
Can you tell me ‘bout the source of the lightning rays ahead?
I am the great and awesome God,
Creator of everything you see and more
I have done things you can’t imagine
And you can be…. so close to me
Where were you when my own people walked away from me,
When they thought that without me they could be free
Do you know my pain, when others were adored,
The anger when my love was totally ignored?
Where were you when I decided to heal all of mankind?
And to leave all of their wicked sins behind?
Were you there when I was born as a child,
When I healed a blind man, were you amongst the crowd?
I am the great and awesome God,
Creator of everything you see and more
I have done things you can’t imagine
And you can be…. so close to me
Where were you when in betrayal I was kissed?
When they drove the rusty nails through my wrists?
Did you hear me crying out in pain?
Were you told by satan that it was all in vain?
Where were you when that morning I rose from the grave
And all of man could be child instead of slave?
Do you believe I did it all for you?
That your liberation came before you even knew?
I am the great and awesome God,
Creator of everything you see and more
I will do things you can’t imagine
And you can be…. so close to me
I am the great and awesome God,
And even though you cannot understand my love,
I will surround you, all through your life.
And I will be so close to you
Yes, I will be so close to you
